On-Ice Training

Building on general and sport-specific off-ice preparation, the potential to become a good hockey player depends almost entirely on practical work on the ice.

On the ice we work on what actually happens in a game. Every exercise has a purpose in play — from the first stride to one-on-one battles.

What we work on

Skating
  • Starting speed
  • Basic skating elements
  • Advanced elements, including power skating
  • Movement with changes of direction
Stick and puck
  • High-speed puck carrying and control
  • A range of shot types
  • Passing technique
  • Deceptive moves and dekes
Game play
  • Work in pairs, using the body
  • Small-group interplay
  • One-on-one battles

Why we do it this way

We do not run drills for the sake of it. Every element is worked at speed, in motion and in combination with others — the way it will be needed in a game.
